Abstract: A technique for generating a diversified encryption key for a contactless legacy magnetic stripe card is disclosed. The diversified key can be generated using a master key, a key diversification value and an encryption algorithm. In one example embodiment, the key diversification value can be provided by the user as a fingerprint, numeric code or photo. The user can provide the key diversification value to the card or a cellphone. The card can generate the diversified key using the user provided key diversification value. The card or the cellphone can transmit the user provided diversification value to the server and the server can regenerate the diversified key using the user provided diversification value.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to authenticating a user for non-payment purposes utilizing a payment protocol, a computer device and a contactless card. The payment protocol may be consistent with an EMV standard. An application may determine that authorization or verification of a user may be required to access non-payment features of another application associated with the user and the computer device. The application may then receive and/or facilitate transmission of encrypted data from a communications interface of a contactless card associated with an account and utilizing either an offline or online technique to do so. The offline or online technique may involve one or more operations that can verify the identity of the user and/or otherwise authorize the user to have access to various aspects of the other application.

Abstract: A vehicle wheel assembly includes a vehicle wheel including a wheel body having a center. The vehicle wheel defines a plurality of openings arranged annularly around the center of the wheel body. The vehicle wheel assembly further includes a self-deployed wheel shutter system coupled to the vehicle wheel. The self-deployed wheel shutter system includes a hub plate, an annular rim disposed around the hub plate, and a plurality of shutter flaps. The shutter flaps are movable relative the vehicle wheel between an extended position and a retracted position. In the extended position, the shutter flaps cover the openings of the vehicle wheel to preclude air from flowing through the vehicle wheel. When the plurality of shutter flaps are in the retracted position, the openings are exposed, allowing the air to flow through the openings of the vehicle wheel.
